In my experience over the past 2 years, it’s been a fairly easy commute and 99% of the time has been on B6. You have the option of going to LGA from FLL & EWR in a pinch(I’ve never done it going to work) Almost all Airbus so that gives you 2 JS’s right there if you ever need it and you have the option of the cabin JS if no other Flight Attendants are listed and the flight is full. Very doable IMHO. As for OAL, Delta does JFK & LGA from FLL with a mix of everything equipment wise and Spirit does LGA also from FLL with some of their Airbus only having 1 JS.
Hope that helps, commuting however is for the birds.

But it should be easy it’s on jetblue lots of options going up there and not an overly long flight. If needed you could stop in Jax or DCA or BOS to get there as a back up.
Good luck and welcome.

It's a pretty easy commute. Lots of flights a day on us. Holding FLL takes 16-17 months right now. I've never been left behind but I'm riding up front 50% of the time. Also, factor in at least 2 hours delayed or some sort of clusterchuck on the regular. Other than that commuting just sucks and the 5-7 hours out of your day for this airline isn't worth it. Oh and when you've finished your redeye from the west coast, waited on a gate for 30 mins, missed your first commute, waited a few hours for the next delayed flight, fly 3 hours home to FLL, you get to help clean the planes!
